Alternative Campaign map options - CA?

[Silver Rusher]

Option C: Even cooler, before America is descovered show the part of the Atlantic in the map with drawings of Sea Snakes and Giant Octupus, etc. Then once the Idea of the world being roudn comes about the the Sea Snakes drawings desapear. ANd finaly once the amricas are discovered the Map can have either Option A or B, (an arrow scroll or a botton)

Sorry to be an annoying little **** but the Europeans always knew the world was round. Columbus simply set out to prove that the earth was small enough for it to be possible for him to sail from Europe to India, not that the earth was round.

As to the general idea of the thread I think a scroller would be the best idea. Once and only once you discover the Americas you would unlock the rest of the map and be able to scroll over to America. The Americas would be kept at exactly the same scale and exactly the same north/south but maybe moved in a bit. The northern part of South America would be on the map, and Africa would only have the coast included on the map, the desert would be blacked out.
